✦ Synopsis

Functionalization of coordination networks is a crucial step for their application. [1] One of the salient features of coordination networks is that they often contain substitution-active metal sites in their framework. Ligand exchange will considerably affect their d-orbital configuration and lead to the electronic and spin control of coordination networks. Cobalt is a classical example that shows chromism upon ligand exchange in the solid state, as commonly observed in
